A novel redis security extension for NoSQL database using authentication and encryption
Asadulla Khan Zaki ., M. Indiramma · 2015
Redis is a new generation NoSQL database. Redis in its simplest form is a key value pair based data system. It supports all the data structures like variables, Linked list, arrays, strings, and queues. However unlike the conventional databases, Redis does not provide enough security for the data. Anyone can get the value if the key is known because the data is stored in the form of key value pair. Therefore such a database is unsuitable for enterprise and most practical application data. In this paper, the work is carried out to add immense security to a Redis system using following: a) Authentication Service b) Encryption Services c) Security to persistent data d) Security to blob data (multimedia data for images).
